Fibonacci map

We consider an autonomous system constructed as modification of the logistic differential equation with delay that generates successive trains of oscillations with phases evolving according to chaotic maps. The system contains two feedback loops characterized by two generally distinct  retarding time parameters. In the case of their equality, chaotic dynamics is associated with the  Smale–Williams attractor that corresponds to the double-expanding circle map for the phases of the carrier of the oscillatory trains.

We consider a system of three coupled non-autonomous van der Pol oscillators, in which the behavior of the phases over a characteridtic period is described approximately by the Fibonacci map with modification of the «Smale surgery», which leads to the appearance of DA-attractor («Derived from Anosov»). According to the numerical results, the attractor of the stroboscopic map is placed approximately on a two-dimensional torus embedded in the six-dimensional phase space and has transverse Cantor-like structure typical for this kind of attractrors.
